Hyundai 5-in-1 HYMT5200X - hedge trimmer not cutting through hedge….

[alxjohnson]

Hello,

I have just bought, and got running for the first time, having followed all instructions my Hyundai HYMT5200X. With the hedge trimmer attachment it moves but doesn’t actually cut the branches/leaves from the hedge/bushes. It’s as if it’s not oscillating fast enough or the teeth aren’t sharp but it’s straight out of the box.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in anticipation.

A point or two.....
Do the blades actually stop when they bite on the hedge brash
The blades must be very close to each other to give the cutting action......did you need to assemble these yourself?

Hi John,

No i didn’t need to assemble the blade part.

The blades keep moving when they bite although bite might be a generous word! I’ve tried it on various bushes and the hedge but it’s fruitless.

From here it would seem that the branches are too large or the machine just isn't revving quick enough.......any comments there?
Do the other attachments seem to be OK?

I have some seriously large laurel, fir and rhododendron bushes and hedges and use a similar tool to yours, but never had much luck with the hedge trimmer attachment. I just use the chainsaw attachment for everything.

How thick are these branches? Anything under 10mm should be doable, you might have to go slow/hold the blade in position for a few seconds.

Check it's running at full speed. The machine might have incorrect settings.
